Isaiah 53:4-6

            [4] Surely he has borne our griefs

                        and carried our sorrows;

            yet we esteemed him stricken,

                        smitten by God, and afflicted.

            [5] But he was pierced for our transgressions;

                        he was crushed for our iniquities;

            upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,

                        and with his wounds we are healed.

            [6] All we like sheep have gone astray;

                        we have turned—every one—to his own way;

            and the LORD has laid on him

                        the iniquity of us all.

 

As our substitute, the Servant made satisfaction for our sins, all by God’s appointment.  

• Christ was our substitute with no cooperation from us (4-5) 

• Christ made satisfaction for our sins (4-5) 

• God appointed this arrangement (6)
